Princess Anne awarded Daniel Craig the same award that was “awarded” to James Bond

It’s done! The British Royal Family honored the latest James Bond to date, 54-year-old Daniel Craig. Moreover, Princess Anne, on behalf of King Charles III, personally presented the actor with the Order of St. Michael and the Order of St. George, which, according to the plot of Bond, was also awarded to his on-screen character in 1953. This was announced by the official royal account on social networks.

We’ve been waiting for you… Princess Anne awards Daniel Craig the Order of St. Michael and the Order of St. George. The same honor was awarded to his character James Bond – for an outstanding contribution to culture – reads the official statement.

The ceremony took place on Tuesday morning at Windsor Castle. The Order of Saints Michael and George is the sixth most senior in the British system of awards. It was established in 1818 by King George IV.

In a new photo released by Buckingham Palace, Craig bows his head to Queen Elizabeth II’s only daughter, Princess Anne, 72, as she puts the order around his neck. It is noteworthy that in the photo Anna is one step higher than the Hollywood star, which symbolizes her royal status.

Note that Daniel Craig is not the first performer of the role of James Bond, who was awarded royal privileges. In 2000, Elizabeth, who died in September of this year, awarded the first Bond Sean Connery a knighthood despite the fact that he adhered to separatist views and supported the independence of Scotland.
